Smoking has become a style statement of the fast forward generation of today’s time. One can easily see young boys and males puffing on a cigarette with their friends or colleagues. Indeed it has become an addiction, which they find very difficult to give up.

Males give an excuse for not quitting smoke saying that the urge for a puff is over powering, it reduces their stress and pressure. On the other hand, young boys opt for smoking due to peer pressure but they can’t deny the fact that smoking is fatal for their health. Here we bring you some health hazards; they will help you kick off the habit today:

1. Smoking is a form of self medication to get rid of psychological problems of stress or popularity. But it directly affects one’s health so whenever you feel an urge for smoking, then replace the habit by drinking a cup of strong tea.
